A 44-year-old woman has been detained after allegedly racially abusing shoppers at a supermarket in Bad Säckingen. The incident escalated when she assaulted a police officer and resisted arrest, leaving the officer injured.
The confrontation began inside the supermarket, where the woman is accused of directing racial slurs at multiple people. When police arrived, she reportedly spat at an officer and tried to flee the scene.
